Welcome to NoSafetySmokingFirst!

For images where the text reads correctly left to right, but visual cues (like colouration, vertical proximity, or horizontal separation) lead you to try to read it top to bottom.

This is similar to, but distinct from, the more widely known “DontDeadOpenInside” format. In that case, the text reads correctly top to bottom, but visual cues (like colouration, horizontal proximity, or vertical separation) lead you to try to read it left to right.

I'm at a total loss as to what is the correct way to read it

[–] jutty@blendit.bsd.cafe 1 points 2 weeks ago (2 children)

My guess is it starts on top left, then moves right, then goes down all the way to bottom right, and comes full circle to the left and back up.

So "doesn't make you look any better making me look bad".
